...seven-millionth visitor had his ticket punched at the Paris Exposition of 1937 last week and experts agreed it was rapidly reaching historic rank with the great French expositions of the past. Greatest of these was Paris 1900, attended by thirty-nine millions before closing day. but a worthy successor was Paris 1931 with thirty-three and a half millions. On May 23 only four pavilions were ready when Paris 1937 was "inaugurated" by sad-eyed, droop-mustached French President Albert Lebrun, but last week 160 pavilions were complete and the Exposition was all but finished. Wiseacres agreed that...
...mayor who was the darling of Hearst, made him city health commissioner. In 1922 when Al Smith was running for Governor, a piece of good fortune fell into the doctor's lap. Since Smith refused to have Hearst, who wanted nomination for U. S. Senator, on the same ticket, someone suggested Copeland. He proved a surprising vote-getter, for, like elephants, mothers never forget; they had not forgotten all the worthy advice Dr. Copeland as columnist and health commissioner had given them on the care of babies. He was elected, re-elected in 1928, re-elected...
...them. The Democratic boss of The Bronx is Edward J. Flynn, an oldtime henchman of Jim Farley and onetime Secretary of State in Governor Franklin Roosevelt's State cabinet.

When Tammany met it was split into at least three factions and Leader Dooling, ill abed and acting by proxy, was in danger of being unable to name his own candidate for mayor even in his own borough. By compromising with one faction he was able to beat the third which...
...sooner had he undertaken the mayor's race for Tammany than Dr. Copeland made an unusual announcement. He would likewise enter the Republican primary and welcome nomination on the Republican ticket. The reason for this was obvious: he runs altogether too serious a risk of being beaten in the Democratic primary. That risk is not so much his as Tammany's, for he indicated that he would not resign his place in the Senate to make the race...
...Game of Politics. LaGuardia is today supremely confident of being reelected. Even in 1933 with the Republican machine solidly behind his Fusion ticket he did not win a majority in any borough, only a bare 800,000 out of 2,000,000 votes split three ways. That he may carry Manhattan where Tammany itself is split and where he has long had constituents is obviously possible, but has high hopes for Kings and Queens-and knaves. Just a little too-obvious knavery in the ranks of his opponents will drive the independent vote into his arms. And he hopes...
